What long term concerns should I look forward to with a 36v rechargeable mower?

Hands down, the biggest killer of lawn mowers isn't the air filter but rather a human lack of properly servicing mowers. That was my problem. Growing up, we didn't have to replace gas in three weeks. We even stored it over the winter and just mixed in some fresh. Clearly it's not like that with today's petrol. So when my briggs and stratton mower didn't start, or when my featherlight blower didn't blow, I immediately went to blaming those respected companies. The blame game. Even though I didn't change the oil or check the air filter or inspect the carb et cetera. But ten minutes of Arkansas summer oppression cranking a dead mower is about to turn emotional, though..

Went to Lowe's and picked out a black and decker rechargeable--though, I've also read very good things about the worx brand. I mean, after a few months of reading reviews.. now I pull back the bar break and push a button, and when I want it turned off, I release the bar break. Then fold it in half and put it downstairs. It weighs 62lbs and my yard is small and level. But it seems too easy. There's no maintenance or oil or gas, no cranking and then cursing yelling. But it's expensive. My briggs was roughly a hundred bucks two years ago. This was a lot more. If anyone has owned a rechargeable for a few years, could you please offer some comments?

Thanks
